Translate to English Rehbraun mit Rubinreflexen. Deutlich gereifte, oxidative Nase nach getrockneten gemischten Beeren mit viel Jod, Tabak, etwas Wurzelgemüse und Torf. Süße Frucht mit torfigen und an Kaffee erinnernden Aromen, Karamell und etwas Kandis, gewürzig, ganz leicht tabakig, dazu nussig und an Tonkabohnen erinnernd, gelb-gewürzige und getrocknet-florale Nuancen, mürbes Tannin, wärmender Alkohol, guter bis sehr guter Abgang mit schokoladigen Anklängen. Wird in diesem Zustand weiter halten, aber besser wird er nicht mehr.
